Abstract

Apparatus for detecting a cut in a video comprises arrangements for acquiring video images from a source, for deriving from the video images a pixel-based difference metric, for deriving from the video images a distribution-based difference metric, and for measuring video content of the video images to provide up-to-date test criteria. Arrangements are included for combining the pixel-based difference metric and the distribution-based difference metric, taking into account the up-to-date test criteria provided so as to derive a scene change candidate signal and for filtering the scene change candidate signal so as to generate a scene change frame list.
